It's all in the Ingredients!

Where our ingredients come from matters!

Growing and raising nutrient rich food is our passion but we can’t grow it all. Therefore, we are committed to using locally grown and eco-friendly products. Supporting farmers growing food that not only nourishes our bodies but also our planet.

We are excited to announce that we are a Slow Food "Snail of Approval" 2022 company! Slow Food Vermont's Snail of Approval is awarded to those restaurants, bars, food and beverage artisans, stores, and markets that contribute to the quality, authenticity, and sustainability of Vermont’s food supply and have been deemed outstanding among peers.

Our Farm in Lyndonville

We raise a flock 300 heritage breed chickens that produce rich eggs for our pastas. Our ladies are always on pasture and fed a diverse diet of Organic corn & soy free feed, kitchen and farm scraps, oyster shells and local spent brewers grain.

We grow heirloom vegetable on 3/4 of an acre following Italian traditions, minimal and no till practices and beyond organic regenerative farming. We believe the healthier our soil, the more delicious our vegetables are!

Who Grows & Mills Flours!

We use a blend of 00 (30%) and locally milled wheat (70%). This blend allows us to create nutrient rich pastas. Our breads are made with 100% locally milled NEK Grains.

These fine folks mill all of our 00 flours for us using heirloom grains organically grown by Texas farmers fresh for us. They are a leader in heritage and sustainable grain and milling. It is a pleasure to blend their delicious flours with our Vermont grown grains. Learn more about then here

NEK Grains is a small family farm and their wheat is grown in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont! NEK Grains believes their soil health comes first therefore they are transitioning to organic and no till grain practices! NEK Grains partners with New American Stone Mills to freshly mill our grain every other week for us so the flour is always fresh! Learn more about NEK grains here
